Description

Recreate the beloved taste of Pizza Hut's signature crust at home with this simple, reliable recipe. This dough strikes the perfect balance between a soft, pillowy interior and a crisp, buttery edge. Infused with garlic salt and oregano, it delivers that distinct savory aroma you crave. The high sugar content ensures a beautiful golden-brown color and slight sweetness that complements any topping. Ideal for family movie nights, casual weeknight dinners, or game day gatherings, this versatile dough rises quickly and bakes evenly. It's easier than you think and yields two large, satisfying pizzas that taste just like the restaurant version.

Directions

  1. Sprinkle the yeast over warm water and stir in the 2 teaspoons of sugar.
  2. Let the mixture stand for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes very bubbly.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cold water, corn oil, remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar, garlic salt, salt, oregano, and about half of the flour.
  4. Beat the mixture until it forms a smooth batter.
  5. Stir in the yeast mixture.
  6. Gradually work in the remaining flour with a sturdy spoon or mixer until the dough is too stiff to stir.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface.
  8. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes, adding up to 2/3 cup more flour if necessary, until it feels elastic and smooth.
  9. The dough should not be too stiff, but it should not stick to your hands.
  10. Place the dough ball into a large plastic food bag that has been sprayed with oil or wiped with oil inside.
  11. Seal the bag and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
  12. Punch the dough down to release air.
  13. Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each to fit a greased and cornmeal-dusted 15" round pizza pan.
  14. Let the shaped dough rise for about 20 minutes in a warm place.
  15. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
  16. Add your desired sauce and toppings to the dough.
  17. Bake one pizza at a time on the center rack for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
